Hughes and Walsh
This whole chapter along with Walsh had me thinking. These Shamans supposedly were one with themself and had underlying powers. I dont believe in this kind of stuff because i also dont believe in powers or other out of body experiences. In the chapter from Hughes, it said that the Shamans could dream while they are in a conscious state. How is that possible? Now i have heard of day dreaming but to be completely out of it while still being concscious is a little far fetched for me to even consider about! They also talk about the fact that the Shamans will port out to another "world". That sounds like some nonsense to me. Now i have heard of going into shock but not just going into a new state of consciousness.

Walsh's chapters also had me thinking. He comes up with alot of myths about shamanism that maybe with time i could believe in. I am very optimistic and open to experiencing new things and this would defiently be one of those instances. I feel that after i learn more and more about the subject, i will be able to believe in it a little more than i do now. Good reading though! : )
